Decline in Combat on Vitlhe IX

Hostilites on Vitlhe IX have come to a decline as of 08/08/2014 at 15:19. The conflict has already claimed at least 13 lives and seen the loss of 13 units and facilities.

Battle began 08/08/2014 at 15:20 when battle elements of Astrogeorge engaged the forces of Pirates. Skeptics feel this decline in combat may only be temporary and warn against regarding it as a downward trend.

Citizens of Vitlhe IX are equally skeptical as the combat has already claimed countless lives of civilians and wrecked 12 facilities on both sides of the war. The individual colonial governments are anxious to begin the rebuilding process.
